Cooly modern, these platinum hoop earrings featuring coiled highlights will add a graceful accent to any ensemble. The hoop is made of thin platinum wire and it measures approximately .88 inches in diameter. Deceptively elegant, the hoop is accented by two sets of tiny platinum coil, with one near the top and the other at the bottom. The earring is not a complete hoop--it ends with a flattened tip just behind your ear. It dangles deliciously off your lobe, and it connects to the ear via a small push. Extremely light in weight, you might forget you're wearing earrings--rest assured, though, that others will definitely take notice. They'll add an understated elegance to your couture--whether business casual or your most stylish evening wear.
One of the three "precious" metals--along with gold and silver--platinum is a very strong, dense metal that does not tarnish and is usually 90%-95% pure.
